Profile:
In the early 70s, Gopal Bose was one of the prime contenders for the
post of Sunil Gavaskar's opening partner. The be-spectacled Bengal
batsman was known for his intense concentration and his ability to
play a long innings. A marathon knock of 170 for Rest of India in the
Irani Trophy match against Bombay in 1973-74 brought him closer to
national selection. Picked for the tour of Ceylon later that season,
Bose did commendably. In the first `Test' he got a hundred and shared
a 194-run opening partnership with Gavaskar. Not unexpectedly, he was
selected for the tour of England in 1974. He started with a half
century in the opening game but then found runs hard to come by and
scored only 326 runs (20.37) in first class matches. He could not find
a place in the Test side but played in the second one day
international at the Oval where he scored 13 and bowled a full quota
of 11 overs with his off breaks and picked up the wicket of David
Lloyd.
Back home, India were still struggling to find a suitable opening pair
with Gavaskar injured during the 1974-75 series against West Indies
and for the fourth Test at Madras, Bose was brought into the squad of
14. It seemed sure that he would open but surprisingly the selectors
left him out of the playing eleven and he was never considered
thereafter. He however continued to represent Bengal with much success
in the Ranji Trophy. (Partab Ramchand)
